• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts on topics including public speaking, focus, feedback, and other essential skills, customizing the existing playbook and creating new sessions when you identify a need
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your individual relationship with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based assessment) for each life skill, and providing coaching to students who do not pass until they achieve mastery
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains high expectations and the adult students trust and want to confide in; warmth creates the foundation for challenge, and challenge demonstrates your belief in their capability

• Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic content is delivered through the apps, not through you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you execute a proven playbook with energy and narrative skill
• Passively supervising students on computers; motivation in this context is active, personal, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly goal to make it easier for a student to achieve; when a student falls behind, the solution involves the student, not the target
• Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Ensure every student in your K-8 cohort achieves their weekly learning goals, demonstrates mastery of each life skill, and concludes the year reporting that they loved you.

• Bachelor's degree in any field
• Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the goal itself, your actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Daily usage of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Legal authorization to work in the US without visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto campus)

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, drama, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward measurable goals
• Personal track record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), demonstrating that holding others to rigorous standards is a consistent practice, not an adopted stance
• Storytelling ability and stage presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
• Demonstrated success converting disengaged or resistant students into actively participating learners
